87 Celebrity front left side wobbles and clunks when I let off the gas pedal. If you turn the wheel slightly to the right the wobble and noise stops. This problem only occurs when coasting and braking, not when accelerating. So many possibilities but I need to narrow it down. Help!

Raise car and put on stands. Grasp wheel and push/pull both horizontally and vertically looking for any movement which may indicate bearing, tie rod, control arm or control arm bushings.

Inspect brakes for any loose brackets.

Check motor mounts for loose bolts/excessive wear.
